Early visit to DHL to pick this one up. First impressions very positive, although it threatens the position of my...

I’m not sure I can call it a grail as it was an impulse purchase in late 2009, so I was denied the long period of soul searching and cost justification that such things often need.

I still think...

Still the Zero, last day in Florence

Usual daily wearer.

Packing for Florence later so will need one of the PAMs. Tracking DHL too, hoping delivery is...

It is, first in the uk I I can recollect for a while. Hoping the condition matches the description.

I’m sure you don’t want other options Martyn, but if you can cope with quartz, and a GS 9F is as good as quartz gets, then the SBGN027/9. I have the earlier 003 and it’s excellent. 39mm and 12.3mm...

Not the micro-adjustment, that was always solid and I rarely altered it. It was the main clasp unlocking, and it sometimes needed a firm press to lock it. Sometimes extending my wrist would put...

The UX a does look great.

I had the new adjustable clasp on my U1, I think my Tegimented version was £400 with new silicone from Neil at Chronomaster. I eventually tired of the frankly enormous...

SBDX001 arrived today. The Seiko diver sub-collection was clamouring for a new leader, who was I to resist. A very heavy thing on the bracelet, so quickly swapped to waffle rubber. Liking it a lot...

The only one that really speaks to me is the manual wind Chronoswiss Regulateur that Fullbreakfast owns. I have already harassed him for the day that he loses the love.

I think this is a fantastic watch, and if I didn’t already have a quartz GMT I would have added one.

If I was going to buy one, I would go new with a Japan seller on Chrono24. That works out...

I can’t offer any auction experience although I agree that SC has been very slow. I couldn’t find buyers for some pretty mainstream watches from Sinn and Seiko.

My personal approach if not...

It’s not for me to offer the Boss advice, he has certainly had enough to deal with, but the forum is withering from the lack of new members. There may be an option to have a pool of moderators just...

I seem to buy into a brand when all the smart money moves out. Maybe I should get a a first generation orange barrel MB2 while I can.

The part number is 108W

I ordered one in Oct 2020 from AMJ watches, and it was the princely sum of £130 then

It’s been gone from the collection for 4 years, it doesn’t seem that long and I do miss it, it was lovely.
